Obama forced the New York Fire Department to hire black firefighters who failed its “racist” qualification test, including a black firefighter who refused to fight fires

It is extremely easy to pass the New York Fire Department’s written test.

The test is multiple choice.

And it’s open book.

And the questions are insultingly easy – here are three examples of actual questions from the test:

A group of firefighters and their officer respond to a fifth floor apartment in a seven-story building. When they arrive at the apartment, they are told that the contents of a wastepaper basket was on fire, and the fire was extinguished prior to their arrival. The officer instructs the firefighters to ventilate, or remove, the smoke from the apartment by first using a method that will not cause damage to property. Which one of the following would be the most appropriate method for the firefighters to use to remove the smoke?

A) Breaking out all the windows with a crowbar.
B) Pulling down the ceiling with a six-foot hook.
C) Cutting through the floors with an eight-pound axe.
D) Manually opening all the windows and removing the screen.

Firefighters are required to operate on the subway tracks during emergencies in the subway stations. Which one of the following would present the greatest threat to the safety of a firefighter working on the subway tracks?

A) A subway platform crowded with people.
B) Rubbish burning in a small garbage can located on a subway platform.
C) A subway car entering a station.
D) A maintenance crew working on the track.

Firefighters conduct building inspections to locate potential life-threatening conditions in the even there is a fire. Which one of the following would the most-serious threat to life in the event of a fire?

A) An unlocked front door in a building.
B) A locked basement door in a building.
C) A car in the driveway of a building.
D) A building with a missing fire escape.

In March 2011, Obama claimed that the above questions were “racist.”

Obama then ordered the New York Fire Department to hire black firefighters who scored only 30% on that test.

That’s 30% right – not 30% wrong.

30%, on an open book, multiple choice test, with questions so easy that you’d have to be a complete idiot to get them wrong.

One of the unqualified black people that Obama pressured them to hire is a guy named Michael D. Johnson.

As of May 2015, Johnson had been working as a firefighter for the past 11 months, and was getting paid an annual salary of $76,488 by the New York Fire Department for his job as a firefighter.

However, during those 11 months, Johnson refused to actually fight fires.

And his supervisors were afraid to fire him because they didn’t want to be accused of “racism.”

I remember that. He didn't want to help racist whites.

...

While most priority hires — including others at Engine 257 — have become outstanding firefighters, sources said, Johnson has fumbled. It took him three attempts to pass the Fire Academy, they said, and he has been sent back for retraining twice. “He’s a nice enough person, but he’s certainly lacking in the ability to put himself in harm’s way,” one source said.

The fire boss who radioed the “mayday” — a rare code used only to signal that a firefighter is lost in a blaze or in distress — knew Johnson had stayed outside but wanted to document his absence on the recorded transmissions, sources said.

Firefighters fear colleague who routinely flees fires

He’s a firefighter in name only. Michael D. Johnson won’t fight fires. Instead, he stays on the sidelines as his Engine Company 257 colleagues rush into burning buildings, FDNY insiders told The Po…

Remember when obama changed the primary mission of NASA to making muslims feel good about themselves?

Or when he wrote a dictate forcing acceptance of perverts in the little girls bathrooms & showers?

That was less than 4 years ago.

In July 2010, Charles Bolden, the administrator of NASA, said that Obama had told him that the primary purpose of NASA was to reach out to the Muslim world.

Obama was the biggest racist to ever hold the Presidency and the only person that could possibly beat his sad performance is his wife. God forbid that woman ever runs for anything.

The test is not racist. But if one race does worse than another race, some people (but not all) on the political left falsely claim that the test is racist.

I agree that the former First Lady is a very bitter person who feels that she has been mistreated because of her race.

During her husband's administration, she would sometimes tell audiences how Caucasians had often mistaken her for a servant on various occasions.

But -- if you believe the polls -- she is very popular with the American people.

As the saying goes, there's no accounting for tastes.

President Obama seemed to be a nice guy. Of course, he had to show his bona fides as a Civil Rights advocate. So he was responsible for many outrages, such as letting the incompetent use the race card to get jobs. He's the one, too, who told school districts to stop suspending students for defiance of a teacher. He said that two certain ethnicities were being singled out unjustly for suspensions. Yeah, right!
